Re: [silk] Books about the Bhakti movement?

[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

Speaking of that – the Chennai Ramakrishna Math has a large number of Swami 
Ramakrishna and Vivekananda’s works but transcribed into word or something of 
the sort, and not in a Unicode font either.  So trying to turn them into HTML 
or make them into something cross platform is resulting in a ton of errors and 
they’re even thinking of having volunteers transcribe the lot again.

Someone who knows what he or she is doing in this area and wants to help out 
please let me know, I’ll put you in touch with the appropriate person at the 
Math.

The spiritual heritage of India by Swami Prabhavananda; I highly recommend
this, as well as dipping as needed into the voluminous  works of Swami
Vivekananda.

Caveat: I'm consciously omitting books by professional historians that
spend more time on the transactional human exchanges than the idea of
Bhakti.
